It shows up in the little things first. As the connections in the brain breakdown, you have a harder time calling to mind people and places you’ve known. Everybody experiences this at some point, but it is frustrating when this occurs. This happens to most of us as we age, but the extent of this cognitive impairment can vary dramatically from person to person. If this condition is left unchecked, it can become Dementia. The good news, regular exercise not only keeps the brain from “rotting”, but it also reverses the cell deterioration associated with aging, thus slowing cognitive decline. A study of senior citizens found walking only 90 minutes a week significantly improves overall health and mental function.
